What we see n perceive is not always a reality.

Salam to everyone n hope u hv a fabulous day!

Just something to ponder about.....it's somewhere i read thru fr.one of the local papers n its written by one of the author of smart parenting.
Well if u must read this its either something to make u smile or u might sigh with a relief.....OR whatever.... its up to your own interpretation........

It's about this newly married couple that just moved to a new neighbourhood n bought a new hse.with lots of glass windows.Every morning they would sit down for breakfast n enjoy the scenery outside. From their hse they could overlook the backyard of their neighbour, and an old woman living by herself. Every morning they would see this old woman struggling to hang her clothes that she washed herself. But the clothes looked dirty with " lots of dark n black spots".

The wife said to her husband " i feel so sorry for the old woman. She must be too tired or too weak to wash the clothes properly." And the husband said, " what kind of people would let their old mother to leave alone." This go on for about a month. Then one fine day, they saw this old woman again n struggling to hang a bed sheet. This time the bed sheet was so white n clean. This caught the wife's attention, "wow the woman must have someone to clean for her or she might have used a stronger detergent". The husband looked at the wife n said "actually i woke up early n i cleaned our glass window. It is full of stain n dark spots."
So there was nothing wrong actually with the old woman's clothes. They were spotlessly clean and only looked dirty because of the dirt on the glass window.

So what do u think?........There r so many perceptions we can make out of it....right!! One of them could be "do not be too busy body" OR ..............
If our looking glass is clear, we will probably see a much more beautiful picture. And according to the author , we must ensure that our looking glass is cleaned daily, not weekly or monthly n that we hv to start performing our religious duty diligently. These r like strong detergent to cleanse our souls n purge the dark spots in our hearts.I agree with him cos they r so effective that we will feel the effects instantly.

Sadly tho its not so for some, i guess.....cos i dont know maybe even by performing religious duty diligently could not cleanse the soul thoroughly...I've come across those who r religious enough as they perceive others to believe they r. And they sometimes would only see the bad side of others when they themselves r the evil one! And not only that, they even influence others to believe in what they perceive.....
So let us leave it to Allah to decide our 'nawaitu' may it be pahala or dosa.....Whatever ways it is to cleanse our soul....let us erased prejudice n hatred n replace it with love n peace...then our days will be brighter n peaceful.....

Always be grateful with what we hv n stop worrying about things we dont hv n also not to even condemn
lol! Nevertheless, by cleaning our glass window frequently could help us to see everything outside our home as clean as our own glass windows!!.....
